Just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU!! I used this video tutorial and your other video to make a set of 27” and a set of 24” long floating shelves. I used a 2”x10”x12ft douglas fir green lumber from Lowe’s (the usual stuff they sell on the floor). The pocket screw idea worked amazing well. The 2”x10” shelves do not have any wobble/movement/sagging. Solid. I used the 3-1/8” GRK screws you rec from Amazon. Appreciate you very much. Got to stain the shelves the colors we wanted and saved hundreds of dollars since solid floating shelves are very pricey online and doesn’t always come in the color you want. You saved me big $$$!!!

Did you also follow his advice about not drilling all the through "so the screws will hold the weight of the wood without cracking"? I only ask because what's that mean exactly, like the drill hole is 1/2" from coming through the end, 3/4" or 1" just curious thinking about trying it myself.
@idliketosay

@@geico1975 yes don’t drill all the way through. If you use the pocket hole jig tool, it will prevent you from drilling all the way through anyway. The pocket hole jig tool has a stopper that prevents you from drilling all the way through so just be sure to use that.

Don't do this. Get the rods. Once the wood drys and shrinks, those screws will get loose and it will sag. Also that corner edge can break away, especially with the pocket holes on top. Plus pocket holes should only be used when used at BOTH END OR SIDES to keep boards/shelves from twisting. This is a bad idea.

I attempted this with 2x10 and all my shelves sagged even though I screwed into 4 studs. I had to add L brackets below the shelves and drilled them into the studs. Once I did that there was no more sagging or wobbliness. The method in the video probably works best with smaller wood boards like 2x4, 2x6 and 1x4, 1x6. Great video overall.

Still functional and great for what I need them for but curious if me decreasing the thickness of the board is what contributed to the less strong hold as my German Shepard couldn’t even stand on mine without it falling out of the wall. Again, perfect video and perfect tutorial. Thank you so much!

People on Reddit are very against pocket holes for floating shelves. I mean.. I get it, pocket holes probably were not intended for this type of application, but your stress test and long term update are really convincing me that this is the right approach. The naysayers dont have anything other to say than -- it just won't hold up.. with no real evidence like what you've presented. Argh, I'm so conflicted. Thanks for the video though, what to do what to do 😁

nice!m looking for a solution for my router and other things, kids always want to reach them, then found this one, I'll give it a try, and it seems nice! Update, I did one for my router, and it looks great. I just bought a new Kreg jig and the drill that comes with the kit has a length indication, so you don't have to make a guess which is good for me(new to the woodwork and no sense for length ). Hand saw a 2 by 10, 8 ft long and cut a straight-line was a challenge, and I would make an investment for an electronic saw and sanding tool later if I have more woodwork. But, your method, still, I think is one of the best for beginners like me, not too many fancy tools, but get the job done nice and easy! thanks a lot! looking forward to learning more from you!
